ABSTRACT.
Characteristics of actinomycetes isolated from soil samples collected in
the south of India and of China with different types of vegetation were
analysed. The number of actinomycetes increased progressively from primeval
forests to secondary forests and vegetable farmland, while the kinds of
organisms isolated decreased according to the same order. Fourteen and
twelve genera were isolated from Indian and Chinese soils respectively.
Antibiotic activity of the more rare strains stressed their potential as a
source of novel antibiotics.
